Hi there, as my wedding is coming up very fast, i need to start thinking about a new swimsuit for the honeymoon.

I am not a tiny lady, i am sitting between a 16 and 14 mainly because of my big thighs and whats left of my baby belly after 2 kids.
I would love either a tankini or 1 piece with underwires as the girls arnt as perky as they used to be I dont want to spend a fortune if possible.

Can anyone put me onto any good stores or sites??
TIA

You'll be hard pressed in the stores ATM. Unless you go to a surf shop. You might find something there you like... Might be able to get some cute board shorts to match...

MW2b I was in the same position this time last year. I ended up going to one of the local surf stores and actually got a great pair for about half price (because they were last seasons stock and we were in the middle of winter stock here in Aus).

Have you tried those places? I struggled because my girls are not diminutive by any means, but my bum is an average size, but if you're similar sized all over it shouldn't be too hard to find something.

Try Carla swimwear in the main street of Charlestown, they carry the brand I got. Mine were from DJ's when they were on special but they don't have any now. There's also a swimwear shop down at Erina Fair that had quite a big range aswell!

Thank you for your replies, i have left it till late as usual ..im so bad for it!!
I will definately have to try the surfshops.
Sepia...i was just checking out their online store
Am definately going to palm the kids off and go for a search.

any other suggestions would be appreciated

If you've got time to mail order then check out:
Always For Me

or
Eddie Bauer

or
Lane Bryant

or
Old Navy or GAP

www.landsend.com also have some and ship direct to Australia - I have one from Lane Bryant and one from Lands End.

USANatalie...thanks for the links, i found one i love at Old Navy, but they dont ship to Australia
Do you reccomend any parcel forwarding type places over there?

Even try Zodee, I have had luck there in the past (and in winter)


Otherwise, try a proper lingere store (ie not Bras N Things) as they might have some left over, or be able to order some in

Swarles..thanks i went and had a look at zodee and found alot i really liked but not the price tag ,
I came across another site very similar which stocked alot of the same brands...and i found a pair!!!!
They are by 2chillis and only cost me $35 including postage!!!
My swimmers

Thanks for all the replies, hopefully someone else can use this link aswell

I know people who have used VPost with no worries, another one that get mentioned quite a bit is Box Voyage. I think they were getting a little behind with their orders but have straightened things out now apparently.

Hope that helps.

another which is really great suerice.com.au

Well after getting all excited about finding my swimsuit (as posted above) the company emailed me to say the order has been cancelled as they are out of stock , so im back on the hunt again!!
samuigirl...thank you for the link i am looking now

Definately try Sue Rice Swimwear. Just google it. Im not a small lady but her swimwear is designed for those with tits and thighs and they're reasonably priced.
